I’m thinking your Trident Spec page need some updating since they offer several models now (Stowaway I & II, Transport 20″ & 26″, Monorail, Spike, Titan, and Chameleon). Plus, the Stowaway II has been upgraded considerably with many good improvements. If I didn’t need a trike with a little higher ground clearance I might have gone with the Stowaway II over the Transport. But, We found the specs and options of the Transport to be just as nice and the seat height was more desireable for what I needed.

Each trike is unique in their own way. Everyone with their own preferences, and riding style. So it’s all about the test run. Once you find the trike for you. You will enjoy the ride like no other. Taking the time to research multiple brands, specific things that you’re looking for that fit your physical conditions, and riding style.

There are likely several pages on this website that may be in need of updating. But alas, seeing as how this triangular realm was all initiated for fun, and other aspects of living life also call to me moment to moment, the chances of a systemic update are slim to none. Oh well, such is the lot of the lonely web writer. The good news is that links carry us quickly away to the manufacturer’s websites with all the latest and greatest news about their absolutely stellar products. Okay everyone – get following those links! See ya’ …

Pannier Volume Conversion:

One liter equals 61 cubic inches. Doing the math, if a pair of cargo bags is 60 liters, such as the Arkel RT-60 recumbent panniers, this converts to 3,660 cubic inches (60x61). Pannier manufacturers are known to express size both ways, which can be frustrating to a potential customer attempting to compare two different companies. Visualizing cubic inches may be challenging, thus converting to liters may help the mind's analytical eye.
